Went to a free preview last night and, well, it's Will Ferrell, so there is not a tonne to say about plot or anything. It does not follow the exact formula of the rest of his sports satire movies, but it's not far off the mark. It was written by the guy that did Old School which upped my expectations just a little because I actually enjoyed that movie, but Semi-pro is nowhere near as good as Old School.
Will Arnett provided the only laugh out loud moment for me, but the rest of the theatre appeared to be in stitches for most of it.
So, all in all, I'd say don't waste your money and rent it on DVD so you can watch it drunk or stoned or something; probably much funnier in an altered state.
5.3/10

PS: Seeing Woody in a comedy like this makes me want to go watch Kingpin for the 50th time: "It's a small world when you've got unbelievable tits Roy."
